N2O5 is the acid anhydride of nitric acid. If you have N2O5, add water to it and you'll have nitric acid.
Water produced in the esterification of glycerin to nitroglycerin will convert N2O5 to nitric acid anyway. Treat N2O5 like 2 moles of nitric acid and
you can nitrate just about anything.
If you really do mean N2O5, how did you make it? Silver nitrate and chlorine in chloroform? Are you sure you didn't mean N2O4?

Maybe he meant glycine (NH2-CH2-CO2H)?
